If you have done your homework well you would realise that there is a pilot shortage in nigeria and airlines are getting desperate,
Dear 18left,
I beg to Disagree that there is a shortage of pilots in Nigeria.I know 15 Nigerian pilots on a first name basis(my humble self included) who have been in the labour market for almost 2 years.
Hearing peple talk about a dearth of pilots in Nigeria sounds like Government propaganda to get some airlines to sponsor students in the flight school at Zaria.
Which is quite a tall order when you consider the fact that most Nigerian Airlines are not willing to spend about $10,000U.S to pay for a type rating(bond included) in order to get a pilot who already has a CPL/IR/ME.
